A nurse is assisting with the care of an infant who requires emergency surgery and whose parent is an emancipated adolescent. Which of the following people can sign the informed consent form for the procedure?

Rationale:

A) Foods high in fiber are generally healthy and do not need to be avoided with lisinopril.

B) Lisinopril can increase potassium levels in the blood, so clients should avoid high- potassium foods to prevent hyperkalemia.

C) Foods high in vitamin K are typically associated with blood clotting and are not contraindicated with lisinopril.

D) Dairy products are not specifically contraindicated with lisinopril, although they should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Rationale:

A. Skin turgor assessment is important in assessing dehydration, but the priority is addressing the tachycardia first.

B. Potassium level is important in managing electrolyte imbalance in gastroenteritis, but the priority is addressing the elevated heart rate first.

C. Capillary refill is an important assessment for circulation, but the priority is addressing the elevated heart rate first.

D. The elevated heart rate (tachycardia) indicates increased workload on the heart, likely due to dehydration or other complications of gastroenteritis. This requires immediate attention to stabilize the infant's condition.
